The Supreme Court.

The September term of the Illinois SUI
preme Court will begin in this city on Tues
day next, at which time it is understood the
Court will hand down decision in the fa-
that prevailed after the arrest and during
the trial Of the dynamite conspirators is re-
viying, and by the time that the Court meets,
September 6, will engross the public mind.
"There are rumors,' says the Chicago
J0wnai, "that the dynamite consprators
not proved to have been implicated in the
Haymarket murders will scatter bombs all
over the city, if their condemned accom-
plices shall be hanged, but there need be
little apprehension on this ground, 1t ap-
pears to be conceded by the counsel for the
dynamiicrs that the decision next week will
be against new trial. in that. case, il is
alleged, an appeal will be taken to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, on the
ground that. the desk Of Spies was broken
open and an Matchmaking letter from Herr
Most was seized and used US testimony on
the trial before Judge Gary. The ground
taken is that this act was in violation of the
Federal Constitution, which prohibits 'un.
reasonable searches and seizures, and that
testimony so procured cannot be properly
used'against an alleged criminal. As there
was abundant other evidence, however, to
convict the defendants, any hopes that may
hang on this point are likely 10 fail"

The season has opened Cor Baltimores,
with fire prospects of an abundant crop;
and Shrewshurys and other New York
oysters are also on the market; but the
! Blue Points are out of season until the
| 10th. The combination of wholesalers fell
through-they couldn't trust each other
enough to form trust" and prices will
be reasonable. Saddle Rocks are quoted
at SIS per thousand, box oysters So and
cuttings at So to 81 per barrel.
Therefore, we may expect soon the per
ennial blossoming of the oyster supper
and the reckless extravaganza resulting
therefrom. In the oyster season now.a.
days all men are great men and women,
for, like the great men Of the past, we are
all oyster eaters We may not all plead
guilty to greatness; but since all great
minds move In the same channels, II is not
without satisfaction that one in looking
back observes that in all countries there
are records of excessive fondness by great
men for oysters:
Cervantes was an oyster-lover, and he
satlrized the oyster-dealers of Spain,
Louis IN, careful lest scholarship should
become deficient in France, Toasted the
learned doctors of the Sorbonne once a
year on oysters; and another Louis Invest
ed his cook with an order for nobility as a
reward for lis oyster cookery. Napoleon,
also, was an oyster.loyer; so was Rous-
seat, and Marshal Turgot used to eat a
hundred or two just TO whet his appetite
for breakfast. The encyclopedias, Hell
vetius, Diderot, the Able Rayual, Vol
taire and others were confirmed oyster
men. Danton, Robespierre and others of
the reign Of terror We're fond Of the oyster
In their days OF innocence, and the great
Napoleon, on the eve of his battles, used
to partake Of the bivalve.
Among the British celebrities Alexander
Pope was IN oyster eater OF taste, and SO
was Dean Swift. Thomson, of the Sea-
sons, who knew all good things, knew how
good n thing an oyster was, while the.
learned Bentley could never pass IN OYSTER
shcp without having few. The Scottish
philosophers, Hume, Dugald, Stewart,
Cullen, sc, used frequently to Indulge in
the "whisKered pandours" of their day and
generation "Oyster plows," as they were
called, were frequently held in the quaint
and dirty taverns Of the old town Of Edin-
burgh, in the cellar, and in the course of
the long Water evenings the carriages of
tho "bloods" would be found rafting up
and setting down fashionable ladies' 10 par,
take of oysters and porter, plenteously but
rudely served.
Bat to behold the oyster,eater in his
glory one must needs see him in America,
the home Of the oyster, and its devourer.
Here his name is legion. The rich, the
poor, the high, the low--all mankind
tickle their ralates with the Serious stew,
the filing fry, the savory byoil, or the ap-
petising raw on the hal! she'll And there
is no limit to his capacity, for 1t is net an
uncommon sight to see an oysterhouse
patron wearing 27inch waistband, stow
iug away his half bushel steamed, OF
pillng dozen Counts broiled on top Of a
! half on the shell, don't you know.
